i think it’s funny
how every morning
i sit down to write my poetry
and [almost] every morning
as i sit
i think
to myself
“man, i am not feeling the poetry today”
but i still write
at least one
(because that was my promise
to myself)
and think about picking an older poem
to post
but then i write
and write
and write and write and write
and have a poem (or three)
to post
plus a few
for a later need
plus maybe one or two
for warmup and whatnot
and how
did i become
the person
who just churns out words
again
and again
and again
ad nauseam
writing

share with the world
your not-so-polished words
your poetry-that-maybe-could-use-some-revising
your writing
without rewriting
and see what the world
says
(that’s the whole point of this poetry blog)

i have poems
and concepts
rushing out of me
today
and none of them
are fit
to post
(guess i gotta look at the past)

wanting to go on adventure
also
wanting to just stay home
the light shining through the vines
finds
sparkles in the dew drops
or are they rain spots
or is it already frost
thought
i’d write about mundane things
thought
i’d write about tech timings
thought
i’d poem about contemplation
but what i needed
to write about
was
nonsense
(apparently)

i’ve been unintentionally rhyming
for a little while now
and i don’t know
how
i feel about it.
~~~
more words
more feelings
more emotions
more muck
to get out of my system
and out of my brain
to stream through the eyes/fingertips
onto a screen
where words seem so foreign
when writing from the heart
but here i am
here i go
here i
start
~~~
i’ve got good stuff
lately
and again
i don’t know how
i feel about
it
November 10, 2022
trying to get back
into the regular swing of things
but not knowing
if the test
will show
positive or negative
and whether i should really
be getting back
into the regular swing of things
or not

interesting
to experiment
with novel writing
as poetry
as the past
November 1, 2022
write
a little bit more
and you’ll feel
a little bit
better
October 28, 2022
a break
a gap
for multiple days
but
i’m not worried
in the way
i have been
because i know
i’m here
and i have things to say
no matter
what
~~~
re-writing history
is the way i deal with
days i couldn’t deal with
the morning pages
or mid-afternoon meditation
or evening ponderings…
simply take the time machine
of your blogging schedule
and post
in the past
(it’s surprisingly
easy)
~~~
(any more to say?)
[anything else to think?]
{or is writing
still coming back
into focus
after a few
days?}

what good
comes from
writing
about writing?
writing
about poetry?
writing
about waiting
and wanting
to write
so well?
